1. Most probably it is a part of a generalized body twitching and can come as a result of stress and anxiety usually called as benign fasciculations.
2. Did Neurologist told about any abnormal neurological examination or advised any Investigations? [CT-Scan]
3. seek an opinion of ENT specialist regarding Sinusitis or with a Dental Surgeon for any TMJ problem, which can mimic the condition.
5. Usually they are benign and resolve on their own, but persistent twitching may need following investigations;
. electromyography. (EMG)
. nerve conduction velocity. (NCV)
. blood electrolytes like calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.
. thyroid and parathyroid function tests.
. blood chemistry and complete metabolic profile.
